Real Action Heroes "The Dark Knight Returns" Batman Preview

Medicom's Real Action Heroes 1/6th scale toyline just got bigger with the announcement of their "The Dark Knight Returns" Batman figure. Yeah, the same mean Batman from Frank Miller's seminal tale.  

No details have been given on the price and the release date. Just a couple of photos and same classic assurance that this figure is made of durable plastic with the costume made out of real cloth. 

Sadly it's still up in the air whether or not Medicom will be doing a Carrie Kelly Robin figure to go along with this grizzled old Bat. 

Tim Daly Squares Off Against Kevin Conroy

Happened in an episode of "The Daly Show" which I just discovered after this video went viral (and is hilarious too). In this video Daly gets tormented by all things Batman until the man himself, Kevin Conroy makes an appearance and beats the crap out of Tim Daly (who used to voice Superman in Superman: TAS and the Dini-verse Justice League series).

Some of the more epic moments here come from Conroy quoting that famous line from the Batman-Superman fight in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Oh and a couple of throwbacks to the Nolan-verse Batman movies.

But the real epic thing here was hearing Conroy spout "I am the night, I am vengeance, I am Batman".

Superman/Batman Finally Happening

One of the biggest (if not the biggest) news from SDCC 2013 is the announcement of a SUPERMAN/BATMAN movie.

Obviously no details yet. The announcement alone is big enough. This'll probably be the talk of the town for a good week or so. To add more brevity to the announcement, Zack Snyder had this soundbite featuring the voice of the guy who played General Swanwick in "MAN OF STEEL". 

"I want you to remember, Clark…in all the years to come…in your most private moments…I want you to remember…my hand…at your throat…I want…you to remember…the one man who beat you."

That line of course was utterred famously by Batman during his fight with Superman in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns...

Here's the photo of the logo as revealed to con-goers today...

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give this around 8.5. This also reminds me of that poster we saw years ago from the film I AM LEGEND.
